Also, it isn't my least favorite, but it is no where near the top. I think the one that I would follow if it weren't for Catholics/Christians changing it so much would be a form of Druidry type belief because they believe in getting as much knowledge as possible along with a couple other things. At least that's what I've been lead to believe. But since there really isn't any written history that survived really, I doubt I would.

You can still learn about the religion and it's progessively changing beliefs by looking at it's history through the roman empire, byzantium, and into medieval Europe thanks to the Benedictine Monks. It's true many of the books were burnt, but there are still hundereds of books if you only look to find them. Most are in Libraries in Europe, and predominantly Italy. The Celtic Monks also managed to save several scriptures. Also Catholics get a bad wrap from a lot of people. One of Catholocicms main beliefs is that they have a more complete truth, arrogant as it may be, it does not damn others for thier beliefs. Oh, and as far as knowing the bible, considering it was compiled roughly 400 years after the fact, I find it hard to take seriously. Course, I'm not a Christian either, so that's probably a big part of it.
